The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you, it’s a pretty dire stretch ahead for Narragansett Town Beach. The whole 16-day window is basically a flat spell. We’re talking about a gap where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. From Thursday the 10th of September right through to the end of the month, the swell is tiny and weak, with the combined wave energy barely cracking 80 (88 being the highest, and that’s for Thursday afternoon the 10th). That’s weak sauce.
You’d be hard-pressed to find a rideable wave. The biggest offer is a measly 3ft from the SSW on Thursday afternoon, but the period is a short, weak 7 seconds, so it’s not going to have any push. Wind is cross-off from the west at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean, but you’re just bobbing around. Water temp is sitting at 70°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the warm side, but you won’t need a spring suit just yet.
The rest of the month is smaller, flatter, and mostly stuffed with onshore or cross-shore winds. Friday morning the 11th has a 2ft south swell with offshore NNW wind at 6 mph – clean but tiny. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th don’t get any better. By the time you get to the 19th of September, it’s nearly glassy with a 0.3ft leftover from the SE, but with a 12-second period, it’s just a long-period ripple. Even the wind goes glassy that Saturday morning, but there’s no wave to ride.
To be honest, this is one of those stretches where the setup is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The small, choppy conditions and cross-onshore winds on a few days would be better for getting towed around than trying to catch a dribbler. There is simply no standout session. No standouts. None. It’s just a waiting game for the next proper swell to roll in. Forecasts can change, but as it sits, leave the board at home and grab a fishing rod.
